    The Tea Party movement is all across our wonderful country. Whenever something like this starts up and becomes popular there will always be someone who will take advantage of it for their own benefit. It is very sad that this has happened.

    OK, Rubes, what is more important? A third party, or the Republic? The Republican Party needs to be Co-Opted by the Tea Party Movement. Stop bickering, and start FIGHTING. THE COMMUNISTS ARE UP, WAY UP. While you bicker, the light of Freedom flickers! Will you put it out? OR, IS IT ALL ABOUT CONTROL. For the Republic, Forest.

    The original goal of the Tea Parties was that no politicians wan not involve politicians.The politicians were to be invited to sit in the audience and listen.The GOP is trying to highjack the Tea Party Movement using Sarah P Million alin that has dropped her stock with Conservative.28 Million Evangelicals sat the 2008 election out.These are not going to compromise the liberal bent of the GOP.Mit Romney,liberal of liberals even claimed credit for the Tea Party success in his CPAC speech.Marcio Rubio with his plan to give Amnesty to Illegal criminal invaders even claims the Tea Party.These Republican Politicians are bullys.My guess is,if the Tea Parties does tell these politicicans to back off,the gop will gain seats in 2010 and those Independent Citizen Candidates will be snuffed out unless they can be annointed by the GOP.Such as Brown of Mass. we were all told this was the people only to learn Mit Romney was in the backgroud grooming and polishing him along.And I wonder why with his victory Obama and the Democrats were not crying-that was the sign it was fixed.

    (Lightweight is aptly named.)

    Legal or not, it was manifestly, blatantly unfair –not to say sleazy— for O’Neal to try to co-opt the name. Doug loses respect in his association with O’Neal on this one. A great disappointment for the conservative/libertarian TEA party movement as Ax the Tax is such a positive effort. This controversy serves only to aid the statists (primarily Dems) by splitting our side –if it does cause a split.

  6. Geo, I’m all for avoiding that lethal split.
    And lightweight…..well, let’s just say I think you nailed your own descriptor in the use of it as your moniker.
    There does not seem to be an ounce of truth in your diatribe. I did spot some beady-eyed little man -RaulPaul quotes, though. :)

  7. Peter Lee says:

    I welcome Tea Party conservatives in the Republican party. PLEASE help us rebuild the party to adhere to Constitutional principles. Splitting conservative votes among multiple parties will ensure that only progressive, liberals will infest the whole government.

  8. Javier Sucks says:

    While I have no problem with them creating their own party I do have a problem with them trying to force others to stop using the name tea party. Isn’t there a law that you can not copyright or trademark something that is over 50 years old.

    I’m sick to death of decent freedom loving patriots being threatened by unconscionable greedy power mongers! Guetzloe, O’Neal, and Egoroff need to BACK the F**K OFF! The Tea Party Movement is the most promising hope this ailing nation has in the foreseeable future. IF you love our nation and cherish our Constitution cease and desist! You are spoilers, and make no mistake… “We the People” are up for the fight! What you are doing is nothing less than an attempt to insure that Progressive Marxists retain power. Give it up!

  10. Fair & Balanced says:

    The story mentions Tom Gaitens signing on to the so called ‘settlement’…it is worth noting that he and Guetzloe have had an ongoing relationship for some time now, well BEFORE the tea party movement began. Politics do indeed make for strange bedfellows…

  13. Poor wittle babies; they be all upset they didn’t think of registering the name themselves and someone beat them to it.

    Get real; this is just another powerplay by people who think they’ve been beaten to the punch. there’s no lawsuit to see here, now move along….
